A published report on Friday, if true, is going to make a lot of people wish that they were employed by Google. According to the report, Google employees are getting a nice holiday gift this year from the company. A tie? A sweater? How about a Nexus 5 or Nexus 7 (2013)? According to those in the know, last year's gifts included the choice of a Chromebook, a Motorola handset or the Nexus 7 tablet. In 2011, a customized Samsung GALAXY Nexus was given away as a gift.
Why didn't Google gift the Nexus 4 last year? If you recall, supplies were so tight that event Santa Claus wasn't able to get as many Nexus 4 units as he put in for. We can hear the papers rustling around now from all of you out there who are suddenly searching for your resume. But before you start making reservations for your employment interview at Google, you never know what will happen next year. Google could decide to clean out its inventory of the Nexus Q and give that out for next year's present.
